i'd rather have the M&P .45 but thats just me
I think its because they are so thin. Thats one thing I love about them.
A 1911 that's only $300-$400 more than an M&P 45 is probably not going to be reliable enough to depend on (with maybe one or two exceptions and the right deal at the right time).
If you get a 1911 that's less than reliable, there's no real issue if you take it to a gunsmith and have him make it reliable. Problem is, that starts adding up quickly.
I have no doubt that you can conceal a full size 1911. I remember going with you to Banner Road and seeing 3 firearms come off your person that I didn't know you had on you. Hip, pocket and ankle holster.
That being said I would go with the 1911 if you want a .45acp. I had the Springfield loaded px9109lp with trijicon night sights. It was by far my favorite pistol ever. I liked it better than my 9mm 1911, better than my xdm in 9mm, and better than my xdm in .40. Regretfully I sold it. For a full size 1911 with some bells and whistles but not having to take a second mortgage on the house to fund the gun, I would look into the Springfield. The only thing I would do to make it more conceal friendly would be to bobtail the grip frame.
I sure do miss her.

You can find a reliable 1911 at several price points and they conceal really well for me even in full size with the right holster. The M&P 45 I shot was a really nice shooter IMO but too big for me to carry.
